Police prosecutors need training
SOME important cases and a murder case were thrown out of court as a result of poor collection of evidence and witness statements by police prosecutors.
It seems police prosecutors are not trained well enough in dealing with these matters in terms of collecting sufficient information to present at court.
Thus, most important court cases are thrown out.
The Department of Police has to implement graduate development programmes and recruit and train law and psychologist graduates so they can carry out their duties.
This will improve prosecution matters and other disciplinary matters in the police force and department.

Police, arresting Officers and investigators are to be blamed for this as well. They are the ones who are compiling all the evidence neccessary for the courts
Police officers do perfect jobs when bribed.
The investigators are to be blame course they takeup bribery and never complete court files and court thrown out after 3 mouths time.
maybe its time the courts starts penalising these incompetent and under-performing police prosecutors and investigators for their incompetence or deliberate slackness and send them off to serve jail time so it sends a message home to the other incompetent/under-performing prosecutors/investigators to pull up their game. Otherwise we will continue to see cases thrown out because of police slackness and incompetence.
